Description
Manuel de Tavares (c.1585-1638), was a Portuguese composer, born in Portalegre, who accomplished his professional career as Chapel Master in several Spanish cathedrals, Baeza (1609-1612), Murcia (16012-1631), Las Palmas de Gran Canaria (1631-1638) and Cuenca (1638), left a legacy of 28 compositions. Almost a third of his surviving work is for the Holy Week, which includes various music-liturgical genres such as: Passion, Lesson, Improperia and Hymn. In this chapter, it is proposed to characterize this set of compositions and carry out a study of their characteristics according to the following parameters: description of sources, the musical contents and their normative framework; analysis of the macro-formal structure, counterpoint texture, types of writing, the use of the modality, metric punctuation and clauses, thematic and motive materials and the expressive relationship between text and music. info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion
